I cleaned the Guinea Pig cage after avoiding it all weekend.

I want a gold star.

In other horrible house news, I am fighting a losing rearguard action against a fruit fly/sink fly invasion.

Yes, I'm putting degunking stuff down the pipes. Yes, I've got traps out. Yes I've put all of the produce in the fridge and cleaned out dead pants.

It's awful.

we have not had that, but some springs we get beaucoup gnats. Today is already horrifying and I want to take it back.

Many gold stars for the efforts! I'm sorry you have had to deal with the pesty pests for so long.

It's enraging to watch a fruit fly just blithely fly right past the fruit fly trap. Go to your demise, invader!
